Grow

Kubb

Mercury

WE SAY

Kubb featured on several "tips for 2006" lists. Next single Grow showcases their refined orchestral sound and Harry Collier's soulful voice. Last November saw Wicked Soul chart at no 25. Grow is already Radio 2's record of the week, on the C list at Radio 1, and could well be the track to break them properly. London gig: 100 Club on 24 January.
